Given the devastating economic toll the COVID-19 pandemic has had on women and girls, the imperative to mark International Women’s Day carries more weight than usual this year.

President Joe Biden tapped Haaland, a two-time New Mexico congresswoman of Lagua Pueblo heritage, to lead the nation’s Department of the Interior.
“It’s a great accomplishment for Native Americans across the country,” Reno-Sparks Indian Colony Chairman Arlan Melendez told the Reno Gazette Journal.
